Major enhancements

The 2021.09.0 release of the Coq Platform has two major enhancements:

• support for installing several versions of Coq (also in parallel)
• substantially extended collection of Coq packages

Included Versions of Coq

Recommended Coq version

• Coq 8.13.2 with the extended and upgraded package collection

Preview Coq versions

• Coq 8.14.0 with a preliminary (beta) package collection - not all packages support Coq 8.14 yet
• Coq 8.14.0 with a not yet released extension: an interactive Ltac-Debugger for CoqIDE

Compatibility Coq versions

The compatibility versions are intended to help porting packages from an older to the latest release. They can be installed in parallel with other versions of Coq (Coq Platform will create separate opam switches for each Coq version).

• Coq 8.13.2 with the original package collection from February 2021
• Coq 8.12.2 with the same package collection as the 8.12.2 Coq Platform release

Only the extended 8.13.2 version and the 8.14.0 beta version are available as installers for macOS and Windows and only the extended 8.13.2 version as snap package. Other versions can be installed using the Coq Platform scripts.

Newly added packages:

• coq-coqeal

Notes

• Notes regarding the macOS installer: This installer is only compatible with macOS 10.13 or higher. Because the application is signed but not "notarized", on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and 11.X (BigSur), it won't open by default, unless you right-click the application in Finder and chose Open. Cf. #51 to learn more.

• Notes on Apple ARM silicon: Coq Platform currently does not support Apple ARM silicon (M1) - it should be easy to fix but we currently have no access to such HW and also cannot test it in CI. See (#168) and Github support. Please ping us via the linked ticket if you have Apple silicon and want to have an online debug session with us.

• Note on the 8.14 version: Coq Platform 2021.09.0 includes Coq 8.14.0, but with a preliminary collection of packages. From a Coq Platform point of view, the Coq 8.14 variant is a beta release, so it is called 2021.09.0~8.14+beta2. A Coq Platform release with a final package collection for Coq 8.14 is expected end of November 2021.

Coq Platform 2021.02.2

This release contains the same version of Coq and Coq packages as the 2021.02.1 release. A new release was required because of incompatible changes in opam and Cygwin. The list of changes is:

• support for opam 2.1.0 (which integrates the opam system dependency manager depext - this needed a few adjustments)
• fix issues with Cygwin binutils
• various minor fixes for the Snap package (support gappa, clightgen, ...)
• various minor fixes to the Windows installer (add icon for CoqIDE, ...)
• minor cleanup and improvements of the Coq Platform scripts

See the ReadMe for details on the names and versions of the included packages.

There are two ways to install the Coq Platform:

• Beginners are advised to rely on the binary packages. There are a DMG installer package for macOS, 32 and 64 bit Windows installers (see asset list below) and a Snap installer (see README_Linux for details).

• Experienced users are advised to install from source using the opam based interactive platform scripts.

See the following OS-specific documentation for details:

• macOS: see README_macOS.
• Windows: see README_Windows
• Linux: see README_Linux.

Notes regarding the macOS installer: This installer is only compatible with macOS 10.13 or higher.
